With offers for horse manure. My garden is already a good foot above the level of the rest of the yard. I hate to see perfectly good poop go to waste.

Dirt

lol, soon you'll be able to put a ladder to the side and climb up to see your garden.

:^O

Hey, I wonder if you could ship some out to the rest of us? UPS prob'ly wouldn't like :O

Offer your non-Organic Neighbors some compost to try the OG way. Ask them to set asice the part that they put your compost into, just to try going OG. Remind them the the pests in the rest of their yard w/ go to the OG section to some extent (even tho the healthier plants w/ tolerate the pests better), so it won't be like they were totally OG, but if they do see improvment, they might go all the way.

Let me introduce you to my neighbors! Good idea under normal circumstances.
I'd be glad to ship you all you want.

Dirt :^O

Won't give you my addy! Don't need no more soil! My native soil is decomposed granite, w/ compost growing the soil for 40+ yrs! I can't get ride of the stuff that comes up from 6', like when I just dug up my new asparagus bed & I keep adding to it!
My back wall used to be 6' high. Now it's 4' high, the dirt has grown that much & it's a 1/2 acre yard! In the front it's only grown a foot tho.

wish there was a demand for crappy little rocks, like the ones ALL OVER my garden. we harvest the bigger ones out of the pasture for landscaping. rock beds are easier to weed than flower beds!

horse poop I have, fortunately! never enough tho! most of my horses spread it around too much to scoop it up.

Hey, if you could ship it via UPS, would it become S.tack
H.igh I.n T.ruck? The only 'manure' I get around here is from my kids.

And if you ship any, be sure to vent for that methane.

Hi Dirt, All kidding aside, I wish there was a way to ship that stuff. Are there any current (or former) UPS/Fed Ex employees with suggestions? There must be plenty of city residents who would pay almost anything for some. It might be what my compost bin has been needing. I can't get it to heat up for love, money, or cigarettes. Love, Jackie

Jackie, what I did through the winter was whirl my kitchen scraps in a food processor. When the pile thawed and drained, I got a steam burn on my hand when I turned the heap. I've never had heat like that before, EVER.

See the thread in OTF: HOLY STEAMING COMPOST, CAPTAIN!
